ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
Previously Recorded: Tuesday, March 25, 2025
The pressure to be perfect is real. Whether it’s excelling at work, supporting loved ones, keeping up with home responsibilities, or maintaining balance, the expectations—both societal and self-imposed—can feel overwhelming. But here’s the truth: perfection is subjective, exhausting, and often less impactful than we think.
So, how do we shift from perfectionism to a more fulfilling, purposeful approach to success?
In our on-demand Lakeside Chat: “Perfectionism vs. Excellence: Letting Go of the Unattainable,” we explore:
- What perfectionism really is—and where it comes from
- The key differences between perfectionism and excellence
- How perfectionism can lead to analysis paralysis
- Why fear of risk-taking impacts our happiness
- Strategies for breaking free from perfectionist tendencies
We welcomed Dr. Amelia Reigstad, PhD, speaker, facilitator, and author of Hello Ms. Perfect, who challenges the perfectionism narrative with wry humor and expert insights. Lakeside HR Group President Kristin Nordling and Dr. Amelia dive into actionable ways to let go of perfectionist pressures and embrace excellence with confidence.
